The Republic of Lost not is a mid-sized, safe nation, renowned for its state-planned economy, punitive income tax rates, and stringent health and safety legislation. The democratic population of 87 million Lost notians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The enormous, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Education, and Law & Order. The average income tax rate is 66.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but sluggish Lost notian economy, worth 2.06 trillion rubles a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector is led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Basket Weaving, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Cheese Exports. Average income is 23,652 rubles, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Lost not's national animal is the dove, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Lost not is ranked 301,058^th in the world and 15^th in Counties for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring -47.96 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
